' The rearward y tilted, sheet-metal, platen carriage 10 of th Corona machine is mounton a rearwar lytilted, sheet-metal carriage bed 11, suitable anti-friction bearings 12 being interposed between the carriage and bed. s'lhe carriage is provided with a feed rack 13 through which' itis fed step by step from rightto left for letter-spacing by the escapement mechanism, not shown. The carriage is returned and the platen simultaneously rotated for line spacing `throu h the medium off a carriage-returning an linespacing hand lever 14 pivotally'mounted on the carriage. The carriage is provided with sheet metal end plates 15Y and 16 formed `with integral tubular bearing bosses 17 and 18for the shaft 19 of "theqplaten 20. 4

A. finger wheelf21, is locked by a suitable set screw 26 on the right hand end of the platen shaft, and a finger wheel 22 is xe'd on a-sliding sleeve 23 on'the platen shaft at'the left hand end of the shaft, said sleeve extending through bearing boss 18 and hub 24 of a line-spaced ratchetwheel 25 into the platen for operating a suitable clutch to lock 95 the ratchet wheel tothe platen 'and unlockm it therefrom for fractionallinepacing. The platen hub 27 at the right han endof the platen is locked to pla'l en shaft 19 bg a set screw 28 and the outer end of said hu abuts L 100 the inner end of portion 17a of boss 17, while the outwardly projecting, reduced, end portion of hub 24 of the ratchet wheel 25' abuts the inner end of boss 18. f

v The line space lever 14 has a yoke-like fulcrum portion 29, the horizontal lsuperposed arms of which are pivotally and slidably mounted on a vertical post 30 held in superposed ears 31 and V32 of a sheet metal bracket 33 which is fastened to the outer face of end plate 16 by screws 34. A spring 35 connects yoke 29 oflever 14 with bracket 33 and tends to swing the forwardly extending handle portion of the lever to the left into the position shown in Fig. 1 and draw the yoke portion of the lever down the post to different levels determined by the setting of the line space regulating lever 36. This lever 36 is pivoted on end plate 16 at 37 and has a rearwardly extending handle and locking arm which is laterally springy and carries a locking stud 38 adapted to be engaged in either of two apertures 39 and 40, as shown in Figs. 2 and 7, to position the forward stoparm of the lever at different levels under the upper arm of the line space lever yoke.

When regulator 36 is set as in Fig. 7 thc rigid, inwardly extending, line-space pawl 41 on the upper arm of the lever yoke is adapted to rotate the ratchet wheel a single line space, and when set aps-'in Fig. 2 is adapted Ato engage the wheel one tooth furthe-r down and rotate the wheel a double space, before the inward swinging and upward sliding movements of the line space lever are stopped, respectively, by engagement of the edge 42 of the upper yoke arm with stop lug 43 on end plate 16 and engagement of thelower yoke arm with the under side of a lstop shoulder 44 formed on post 30, as shown in Fig. 2. The outward yswinging of lever 14 is limited by engagement of a stopv extension 45 of the lower yoke arm with the outer face of bracket' 33. The lever Athus has a fixed pivotal throw and a variable sliding throw, and always stands in the same position at the end of its line-spacing stroke- A stationary, combined paper guide, printing line indicator and printing point indicator 46 is rigidly clamped at its lower end to a. sheet metal bracket 47 which is rigidly held to the carriage bed midway the ends of the bed by a pair of screws l48 which are aligned longitudinally of the bed, and one -the lower end of member 46 and are` threaded into the upturned forward portions of vmember Member 46 is formed with horizontal wlngs 51, the upper edges of which eX- tend along the printing line of the platen, and said member is 'provided with an opening 52 through which the types on the type bars 53 of the machine strike to the printing point, the upper portion of said member between the wings consisting of an inverted V-shaped bar 46k1 extending above the wings, the apex of which bar indicates the location of a vertical line through the printing point.

The foregoing parts are all constructed substantially as in the Corona machine above referred to, and said machine isprovided with a paper feed mechanism for feeding and guiding the work pieces downwardly behind the platen, under the platen, and up in front of the platen behind member 46 which then directs the/paper upwardly and rearwardly over the upper front portion of the platen. The paper feeding and guiding means just referred to is constructed substantially .as

shown in the patent to Armstrong, No. 1,619,-

013, dated March 1, 1927, but it will be obvious that any other suitable feeding and guiding means may be employed.

In said patent a paper retaining bail device is shown, and the objects of the present invention include the provision of an improved paper bail mechanism whereby the insertion of sheets in the machine and making of erasures are facilitated, improved means for holding the bail in on and off positions, simple and eliicient means for limiting the throw of the bail in both directions, and means whereby the bail will be restored, if left accidentally in off position, by the operation of the carriage returning and linespacing lever, such o eration of the lever being almost invaria ly performed before starting of writing on an inserted sheet. It is, of course, impossible for the operator to type to any great extent after any throw-off of the bail without actuating the line spacing mechanism, so that by the arrangement set forth the bail will be restored before or shortly after starting of typing. lThe improvements as shown associated with the foregoing described parts of the vCorona machine will now be described.

The paper bail is preferably formed .of a single piece of sheet metal, as shown, and con-` sists of a combined letter-space scale and paper-holding and guiding cross-bar 54, and a pair of side arms 55 and 56 having aligned bearing holes 57 for the shoulder portionsand pivot screws 58 hold the arms to the end plates 15 and 16, of the carriage at the inner faces of the end plates for swinging move-`A ments of the bail about an axis which is par,- allel with the axis of the' platen and preferably, asshown, is below the level of the printing line and slightly. above the level of the axis of the platen. Side arm 56 is formed with an integral extension 59 at the opposite side of its pivot hole from the cross-bar 54, and said extension 59 is provided at its forward edge at its lower end with an inwardly projecting integral lug 60 preferably having an open slot 61 extending 'upward' from its llower edge, as shown. The side arms of the bail are preferably provided with concave vedge portions 55and 563,'respectively, which engage the reduced outwardly vprojecting portion of hub 24 of ratchet wheel 25 and the larger outer end'portion of boss 1'7, respectively, to positively limit the eX-.

tent of rearward swinging movement Aof the bail and hold cross bar 54 slightly out of contact with the platen when the bail is in on position, as shown in Figs. 1, 3, 4, and 7.

The crossbar is preferably provided with letter-space scale aduations and figures on its outer face, an is preferably cocked relatively to the direction of length of the side arms so as to lie flatwise in an upwardly and rearwardly inclined plane, as shown, when ,the bail is in on position, so that the scale is readily Visible tothe operator and so that thepaper sheets orother work pieces will be guided upward and rearward over the' top of the platen by the flat under face'of the crossbar. The length of the' side arms is such that the crossbar in the on position of the bail extends along the platen parallel therewith above the printing line and out of the paths of movement of the heads of the type bars Vtop of the platen, as shown.

53 of the machine, preferably7 overlying the he portion 46a of guide member 46. extends over the upper front portion of the platen to a point closely adjacent the forward edge of crossbar y54 of the bail and is curved to conform substantiallyfwith the curvature of the platenand Iis slightly flexible to aiiow feeding of thickwoi'k sheets, or the employment of several sheets in 'manifolding Work.

' The ,bail is adapted to be manually swung y forward to an off position in which its cross- `but of the path of the type bar heads and above and forward of the u per end 46a of the guide 46 so that sheetsv introduced into the machine while the bail is in otf position willbedirected'upward and rearward under thebail crossbar and will be caught and held tothe platen by the crossbarfwhen the bail is restored to its on position. The bail may `be readily ushed rearward from its oiP4 position by ger pressure on the graduated face of the cros'sbar, and side arm 56 is provided with an integral fla-t lug 62 extending inward from the rear edge of the arm perpendicular to crossbar 54 and abutting at its upper end to rear edge of the crossbar, thus affordino' a convenient finger piece fordrawing the bail into its off' position.

The bail, in the preferred 'construction shown, is yieldably he d in both its on and off positions through the medium of a spring-G8 and a. lever 64, said lever having a stop portion for positively limiting-the extent of throw-off movement of the bail, and the spring being connected with both the bail and-lever and holding the lever and the downward extension of side arm 56 in contact with each other.' Lever 64 is preferably formed of a flat piece of sheet metal and ivoted at its rear end on the reduced, cylindrical, shaftbearing, inner end portion 17 1 of boss 17 on end plate l of the carriage, being confined,

between the outer end of. platen hub 27'and the inner end of the enlarged portion of the boss and extending forward flatwise in a' vertical plane with its forward portion extendiiig through slot 61 in contact lug 60 of lthe downward extension 59 of bail side arm 56. The lever is thus held by the side walls of slot 61 and by the opposed portions of hub 27 and boss 17 against lateral movement and accidental disconnection from the-bail. lThe' arrangement just described affords a simple, economical and efficient 'mounting of the lever and shifting contact connection between the lever and bail.

Lever 64 is preferably provided with a. combined bail stop and spring anchor lug 65 which extends upward from the upper edge of said lever about\midway its ends intermediate the vertical planes of the lever and bail axes. Spring 63 is a helical tension spring and its lower hook end is engaged in an aperture 'in the upper end of lug 65, the upper v end of said spring being attached to the bail above the pivotal aXis of the bail, preferably by engagement of its 4upper hook end in an eye 66 ormed by stamping inward a strip of metal from the upper portion of side arm and the stops 17 and 24 coact with stop edgel portions 561and 55a fof the'bail to arrest rearward swinging*1 of the bail at the on position shown in ig. 5 withcontact lug 60 of the downward bail extension 59 engaged over the upper edgeof the lever at the .forward end of the lever at a point in a vertical plane forward of the vertical lane of the bail axis, while'stop 65 coacts with lug 60 to of. position .shown iii Fig. 6 vwith lug'60 engaged over'the upperedge of the lever at a varrest forward swinging of the baillat the l la) `i point in a. vertical plane in rear of the vertical plane of the bail axis.

The described arrangement is such that force transmitted from the spring to the downward bail extension is exerted in a direction tending to urge the crossbar of the bail toward the platen `while the bail is in on7 position, and is exerted in a direction tending to urge the crossbar of the bail away from the platen while the bail is in olf position, the change indirection of force taking place approximately as the contact edge of lug passes under the bail'axis. Spring 63 exerts force directly on the bail at its upper end tending to urgeA the crossbar of the bail toward the platen while the bail is in on position, and, preferably, stop is so located as shown) that the direct application of force by the spring to thebail is,

always exerted in said direction, the opposing directly applied'and indirectly applied spring forces neutralizing each other in the pif position of the bail. This arrangement affords a compact structure giving amplev access to the work for making erasures, easy worlc introduction, and a yielding lock-off ofthe bail, without an excessive swinging of the bail carrying @the crossbar into the path of the type bar hea-ds which would be liable to result in injury to the type faces and bar if keys are struck while the bail is in off position.l

The opposed spring forces and the friction between the lug 60 and lever 64 yieldably hold or lock the bail in off position. Preferably, however, the upper edge of the lever is formed with a cam hump 67 immediately s forward.` of lug 65 forming a.' locking notch adapted to Yreceive the lug 60 when the bail is rocked to voif position. The forward edge of lug 65 forms an abrupt rear wall of said notch engageable by the rear. face of lug 60 to positively arrest throw-off movement of the bail, while the rear slope of the cam hump 67 forms a sloping cam forward wall of the.

notch permitting the bail to be forced back by finger pressure on the crossba'r sufficiently to release'the bail for a spring snap restoring" movement but offering a substantial resistance tobail release reducing liability of accidental return of the bail to on position.

The high point-of cam 67 is preferably located under the bail axis at the point where the direction of spring force transmitted to the bail bythe lever changes, as shown. The

' cam hump also preferably terminates materially short of the limit of outward movement of lug 60 along the lever 64, and the outer upper edge portion' ofthe lever and thebottont of the locking notch in both extreme positi ns of the bail preferably lie in the arc of av'gclestruck from the bail axis, as shown. Th described arrangement per, mits relatively easy yielding movement of the bail bar away from the platen through alim-l ited range to better accommodate varying numbers of superposed work sheets and gives a quick impulse to the bail in restoring direction from the cam as soon as the direction of force from the lever to the bail is changed by a manual rearward thrust on the crossbar. The rear cam edge of the hump 67 also acts to urge lug 60 against stop lug 65 in throwoff 'operations of the bail. y

The action of the line-space mechanism to restore the bail if th@ bail be inadvertently left in off position will now be described, with particular reference to Figs. 1, 2 and 7. From the description of the line-.spacemechanism heretofore given, it will be seen that the rigid pawl 41 on the operatin stroke of lever 14 swings rearward and sli es sli Yhtly upward respectively about and along earing post 30 of the lever and always moves to the same position irrespective of the setting of the regulator 36, the final position of the parts at the end of a li-ne spacing and cary riage returning stroke of the 'lever bein shown in Fig. 2. When the bail is in olf position side arm 55 thereof has an upstanding forward edge portion 55b extending upward across the path .of movement of pawl 41 in all settings of the regular-well forward of the limit of rearward movement of the rear edge of the pawl, vas shown in Fig. 7. When lever 14 is swung toward the right on its operating stroke pawl 41 engages edge 55b Cof bail side arm 55 and rocks the bail to the position shown in Fig. 2, fully releasing the bail by moving lug 6() forward past the apex of cam hump 67 vso that the bail will snap to full on position under the action of spring 63.
